Researchers have looked into the role of individual differences in
second language learning and found that differences between
learners in areas such as language aptitude, language learning
motivation and exposure to the language influence second language
learning. Most of this research concerned adults. Far fewer studies
have addressed the role of individual differences in second
language learning of young learners. As second language learning
programmes tend to start earlier than before and children are
nowadays frequently exposed to a foreign language in social
settings such as online games and social media, studying the role
of individual differences in young learners can contribute both to
SLA-theories and to evidence-based L2 education. This book
discusses recent findings concerning the role of individual
differences in language learning in young learners. The chapters in
the book concern different topics linked to internal individual
differences such as language aptitude, motivation, attitude and
external individual differences such as exposure and type of
instruction, the relative contribution of internal and external
factors to language learning, and the interplay between the two
types of individual differences.
